The
removal of my
wisdom teeth was one of the least
stressful surgeries I can
imagine. The
surgeon put a
needle in my
arm, and I was
out like a light. After my
five (yes, count 'em -- FIVE) wisdom teeth were out, I needed only two
codeine pills -- after that, I wasn't really in
pain anymore. In fact, I hosted a
cookout for some friends the very next day and ate a couple of
hamburgers. I was
lucky.
On the other hand, my
sister, woke up while the surgeon was
pulling on her teeth. She cried for days afterwards.
